      <h2>HOWTO exchange tool profiles with friends</h2>
      <br clear=all>
   Tool and material profiles can be exchanged between users, sharing the ease of setup for particular materials.
   This document will guide you through exchangeing profiles with other users.<br>
   <b>NOTE: Profiles only work with Sketchup units set to millimeters or inches</b>
   </div>

<table summary="phlatbones Help details table">
   <tbody>
   <tr>
      <th colspan="2" class="command-title">
         <p>Exchanging profiles</p>
      </th>

      <td class="command-image" valign=top>
         Giving your profiles away
      </td>
      <td class="command-description">
      The profiles are stored in the Sketchup folder within each users APPDATA folder which you can display via the
      <b>Tools|Phlatboyz|Display Profiles Folder</b>
      menu item. 
      <a href="#mac">[MAC: see bottom of page]</a>.<br>
      Should that menu item not open a file browser in the relevant folder containing a number of .TPR files follow the instructions below<br>
      The path to this folder varies between Windows versions but can easily be found by doing the following:
      <dl>
      <dd>
         <dl>
         <dt>do this
            <Dd>Click 'Start' 
            <dd>Click 'Run'
            <dd>Paste '%APPDATA%/Sketchup'
            <dd>Press Enter
         <dt>or this
            <dd>Open 'My Computer'
            <dd>Paste '%APPDATA%/Sketchup' in the address bar
            <dd>Press Enter
         <dt>or this
            <dd>Use 'My Computer' to navigate to (may vary between Windows versions)<br>
               <b>C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\SketchUp   </b><br>
         </dl>
      </dl>
      Windows will open a file explorer with the folder displayed.
      All the 'somename.TPR' files are your profiles.
      To give them to someone else, simply email them, transfer them with a flash stick or post them on phlatforum.com
      in the <A href="http://www.phlatforum.com/xenforo/threads/material-bit-specific-feedrates.1935/" target="_blank">'Material/Bit Specific Feedrates'</a> topic.

      To install a profile that you have downloaded:
      <ol>
         <li>Open your APPDATA folder   (as above)
         <li>Copy or move the downloaded profile file to that folder.
         <li>Open Sketchup and confirm that you can load it.

<a id="mac">Mac/Linux users:</a>  you will be running Sketchup under Wine and the APPDATA environment variable does not exist.<br>
The folder is in a path similar to<br>
   <code>/home/username/.wine/c_drive/users/username/Application Data/Sketchup</code><br>
You may need to set your folder viewer to 'display hidden files' in order to see the .wine folder
